As an avid traveler, I'm used to have places stealing my heart. When I'm about to leave a place, I don't realize that I'm living my last moments until I see the plane I'll be flying on and then, I just burst into tears.Over time, I've learned that it was okay to be sad to leave a place where you've met amazing people, have seen amazing landscapes and enjoyed the simplicity of your own life. It is okay to start all your sentences by "When I was in XX".And it is okay to complain because "the food was cheaper in XYZ". I came up with a few things that help me get my shit together after a lifetime trip and I hope it will be useful to you too.

3.Catch up with your friends and family/Reprenez contact avec vos prochesBeing back also means that you have some people to catch up with. Call them, and let them know you are back.Il est temps de reprendre contact avec vos proches. Il s'est passé beaucoup de choses pendant votre voyage mais dans la vie de vos amis aussi. Appelez-les pour prendre un verre ou organiser un dîner.4.Discover your hometown/Redécouvrez votre villeThe more I travel, the more I see beauty everywhere, even in places I'm used to. I just feel like I come back with new eyes after every trip. Try this new restaurant that has opened downtown, go camping in a village, discover your own country. Beauty is everywhere.Plus je voyage et plus je vois de la beauté dans les choses les plus simples. Redécouvrez votre ville, essayez ce nouveau resto (cf point3), allez camper dans le village d'à côté, découvrez votre propre pays.

5.Embrace the new you/Appréciez la personne que vous êtes devenuIt is such an amazing feeling to go back to a place, and see how it hasn't changed but realize how much you did. The person you became after a trip is the best version of yourself. Embrace it!C'est tellement incroyable de rentrer et de se rendre compte qu'on a tellement changé. La personne qu'on devient après un voyage est la meilleure version de nous-même. Aimez-vous!6.Meet travelers visiting your city/Rencontrez des voyageursWhen I cannot travel myself, there is nothing that enjoy more than connecting with people visiting my city. Create a couchsurfing account if you don't have one already, host some travelers and if you can't, just invite them for a city tour. They will be happy to have a local showing them around and you will make new friends.Quand je ne peux pas voyager, je laisse le voyage venir à moi. J'adore rencontrer des gens visitant ma ville. Si vous n'avez pas de compte couchsurfing, créez-en un. Hébergez des voyageurs ou si vous ne pouvez pas, montrez leur votre ville. Ils seront ravis d'avoir un local avec eux, et vous, vous aurez de nouveaux amis venant du monde entier.
